Help me pick another anime! (Patreon Exclusive)
Added 2025-03-01 17:00:11 +0000 UTCIt's time for another Patreon exclusive reaction! Looking forward to seeing what wins.
Also, please let me know if the English dubs are preferred for some of these and if so, which ones. I believe Grave of the Fireflies is on Netflix so not sure if that English audio is the best version.

2025-03-07 04:32:48 +0000 UTCYou should watch Wolves Children its such a beautiful anime movie like those of studio ghibli but wasn't made by them but it has very similar feel to it.

2025-03-04 00:07:32 +0000 UTCor Wolves Children

2025-03-04 00:05:36 +0000 UTCI voted for it both times haha. I'll just keep voting Nasuicaa!

2025-03-03 22:18:43 +0000 UTCI will never stop supporting Nausicaa. I will die on this hill

2025-03-03 22:17:43 +0000 UTCPorco Rosso most underrated Ghibli film
Myllyon
2025-03-03 20:16:33 +0000 UTCWhy isn't "Your Name" on this list?!?!!
Maia Wilson
2025-03-02 23:29:00 +0000 UTCDepends on where you watch it I guess, because Canadian Netflix still has “Soaring”, the ad-libs and the alternate Phil Hartman ending lines.
Elle
2025-03-02 19:44:16 +0000 UTCNope: The dub had to be changed from the 90’s VHS, since Ghibli’s strict “No cuts” rule applied to “No additions” as well. The DVD dub’s still the same, but losing Phil Hartman’s ad-libbed lines (“Well, Hello Kitty…”) and the added background dialogue, and the new English OP and ED songs were replaced with the original Japanese.
Eric Janssen
2025-03-02 19:09:04 +0000 UTCAlso recommending Your Name and A Silent Voice for the next anime movie polls! As for sub/dub for Kiki, the english dub isn’t bad (though I grew up watching it so there’s probably some conditioning at play there). There is a mild script change at the end of the english, as well as added dialogue throughout (because western audiences aren’t used to sitting in quiet moments), so if you want it 100% as originally intended then go with the Japanese.
Elle
2025-03-02 17:03:43 +0000 UTCI’d love to see Porco Rosso, but I think Kiki’s should be watched first… For Ghibli, you keep making them we’ll keep watching them!
Mr. Bundy
2025-03-02 14:16:50 +0000 UTCI hope she gets to series one of these days. There's a lot of good series out there that isn't really episode heavy like most Shonens. Also Grave of the Fireflies needs to be watched at least once but I guess it isn't winning.
AlimarM
2025-03-02 09:16:34 +0000 UTCI hope you watch Grave of the Fireflies. Everyone should watch this movie at least once in their life. 🙏

2025-03-02 06:05:03 +0000 UTCI haven't heard of any of these unfortunately

2025-03-01 23:53:38 +0000 UTCI’ll vote for Millennium Actress if we also include Paprika.
Jacob King
2025-03-01 23:40:20 +0000 UTCPorco Rosso is literally my favourite movie so I’m biased.
Jacob King
2025-03-01 23:38:03 +0000 UTCLooks like we’re all going easy on her.
PIG
2025-03-01 23:25:33 +0000 UTCIf you ever see Grave of the Fireflies know it was originally shown as a double feature with Totoro. No, I do not know which was shown first.
Michael Lee
2025-03-01 23:12:27 +0000 UTCI Still wish for millenium actress it was literally my childhood. Still I am the only one asking fof it
justajester
2025-03-01 22:35:54 +0000 UTCAll are Ghibli so all are good, and I'm not mad at Kiki running away with it haha. But voters should just know they're missing out on one of the best lines in Ghibli - "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist" by leaving Porco Rosso behind in dead last. Looking forward to Kiki though and thanks Nat for continuing to do some Patreon exclusives, it's a fun club.
Erik Stevenson
2025-03-01 22:33:11 +0000 UTCGrave of the Fireflies.
Mighty Warrior
2025-03-01 22:11:14 +0000 UTCI know Kiki will win and I have a tattoo from the movie but I hope Laputa wins one day!
Josh R
2025-03-01 21:16:32 +0000 UTCOh yes!! I feel like Nat is going to love Kiki :D
Yani Dodge
2025-03-01 20:31:04 +0000 UTCPlus the English dub is quite good with the star talent of Kirsten Dunst and Phil Hartman and others
Adam Doyle
2025-03-01 19:48:34 +0000 UTCKiki's is so cozy and sweet. A refreshing change from life these days. Is not mind bending or intense orl violent, Just a cute story.
Adam Doyle
2025-03-01 19:44:50 +0000 UTCguys kiki is cool but please let her watch grave of the fireflies cmon
Path
2025-03-01 19:40:11 +0000 UTCAgreed.... and agree.
Christian Rennie
2025-03-01 19:21:43 +0000 UTCGrave of the Fireflies is a must see for many reasons and is arguably Studio Ghibli's best movie and easily one of the top 100 of all movies of all time. But I agree (with others) you will have strong emotions for anyone that suggests for you to see it. I've seen it and, for Nat, will brave to see it again. My second pick is Valley of the Wind.
Christian Rennie
2025-03-01 19:19:43 +0000 UTCPorco Rosso is an anti-fascist so he always gets my vote.
djKENTO
2025-03-01 18:55:53 +0000 UTCI reluctantly recommend Graveyard of the Fireflies to someone as they will surely hate me forever, but it's really a movie that shows the range of emotions anime can reach, and as such I recommend it to everyone and accept the hate wholeheartedly
Edward Rahardjo
2025-03-01 18:48:50 +0000 UTCSpeaking of anime on Netflix, we DO know there’s a full-length Ranma 1/2 Movie somewhere out there for the reacting, don’t we? 🐼. https://youtu.be/fhHZo7bm9KQ?si=stwK44ZUDxonmNOR (Okay, two, but the second one’s best forgotten.)
Eric Janssen
2025-03-01 18:28:24 +0000 UTCdang naussica is my fav. hope it wins in the futures
nicholas ch
2025-03-01 18:28:19 +0000 UTCI’ll vote for that next time, Kiki first
Jason Gillman
2025-03-01 18:26:58 +0000 UTCOh baby, Kiki’s time to shine!
Jason Gillman
2025-03-01 18:25:52 +0000 UTCI never get to the end of grave of the fireflies, that kills me inside
Matheus Leopoldino
2025-03-01 18:24:12 +0000 UTCI remember back when we thought you “couldn’t” recommend Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer to a new reactor because they’d “never heard” of the show the characters came from. One remake on YouTube later… 😉 (We’re also waiting for “Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose”…Oh, like nobody’s heard of THAT one.)
Eric Janssen
2025-03-01 18:17:04 +0000 UTCI never watched it more than once, because it was muddled, pointless, handwringing, and made the character a completely unsympathetic brat by the time we were supposed to tragically care about him. (Look, you only watched it because some other fan told you to watch it, because some fan told him to watch it, because some old-school 90’s fan remembered the first anime VHS he ever found on the shelves at Blockbuster. 🙄
Eric Janssen
2025-03-01 18:12:52 +0000 UTCAll of these are great! Would also recommend Your Name!
Kubochaan
2025-03-01 18:09:01 +0000 UTCLook, I'm not going to watch Grave of the Fireflies again.
Rime Pendragon
2025-03-01 18:07:28 +0000 UTCAll of these movies are perfect in my opinion, you wouldn't be wasting your time watching any of them. I think the Japanese Dubs are best, doubly so for Grave.
Wesley
2025-03-01 18:01:57 +0000 UTCThe Netflix version of Grave of the Fireflies has the Sentai dub, which is better than the earlier CPM dub, but it's still just fine. Nothing really noteworthy about the performances.
Daniel Amaral
2025-03-01 18:01:22 +0000 UTCFinally Kiki's. You'll love it
Christian Fierro
2025-03-01 18:00:39 +0000 UTCKiki’s dub isn’t bad. But I agree with the others in the comments here, Your Name on your next poll would be amazing
Matt Even
2025-03-01 17:58:01 +0000 UTCGuilty
Mastervodo
2025-03-01 17:56:45 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday Nat. Enjoyed hanging out with you and everyone on the livestream last night 😊 All these anime movies are an education for me as I've not seen any of them. Will go with Kiki this time around. Enjoy your weekend Nat 💛
Darryl Low
2025-03-01 17:47:53 +0000 UTCI hope Kiki wins. I've been lucky enough to see a local screening of this amazing film.

2025-03-01 17:26:00 +0000 UTCOh she's going to love Kiki's. "What if a movie was just like getting a warm hug and a cup of cocoa". That's Kiki's.
Brant Campbell
2025-03-01 17:21:53 +0000 UTCPlease put Your Name, on the next poll
Nick Freer
2025-03-01 17:19:02 +0000 UTCWas also hoping for attack on titan 👌😁
Hi I'm Tom
2025-03-01 17:14:00 +0000 UTCWow a surprise poll, we are lucky golden Nuggets 😁. I don't know much about any of these, so I'll pick one at random lol.
Baggie Mark
2025-03-01 17:13:04 +0000 UTCI almost picked Grave of the Fireflies just to ruin your makeup…but picked Nausicaa as it’s the weirdest of the bunch, and what really started Ghibli. But Kiki winning would be fine. It’s the cutest of the list
Gavinmc
2025-03-01 17:09:45 +0000 UTCNot a fan of anime, which is a massive understatement, but I wanna recommend Sopranos and Ash vs Evil dead .
Beth Brown
2025-03-01 17:09:31 +0000 UTCI was hoping for Demon Slayer or Attack on Titan
